Triple J's Hotties 100

Every winter in Sydney we all get that chilling feeling; "Why is it so cold? Why do I pay rent? How do I keep warm?"

A hot water bottle is a creature-comfort, a natural instinct and one of the simplest sources of heat.

The vessel: a flat, oblong container, typically made of rubber, that is filled with hot water and used for warmth, especially in a bed.

The source: Water greater than a temperature of 49 degrees – usually from a kettle or a very hot tap.

The insulator: A fabric composition covering the hot water bottle, keeping direct heat away from skin and insulating heat.

Starting with where I'm based in Surry Hills NSW, I want to drop off 100 hot water bottles to people sleeping rough this winter.

I need your help to get to 100 people in my area – and once we exceed this limit, we begin to organise:

1. Drop-offs in the wider Sydney suburbs

2. A map of safe spaces in your area to top-up your hottie

Triple J have been contacted for support, hopefully I won't have to change the name because it wouldn't sound as good.

Either way, thanks for reading and stay warm!
